About Julie
Julie Donnelly helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure about relationships. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and questions about life purpose. Julie works in English and French and practises online with sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Julie uses a gentle, person-focused style. She listens first and helps people find what matters to them. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth.
Background and approach
The aim is to find steps that fit everyday life. Her ways of working draw on several established approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pace. Julie also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas and Internal Family Systems when these help make sense of inner conflicts. With three years of experience and a BACP credential, Julie offers a thoughtful, reflective space to try things out.
Sessions are suited to people who want collaborative, conversational support rather than directive teaching. She is particularly interested in issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, family of origin patterns, communication problems, guilt and shame, midlife concerns and learning more self-love. People usually begin by describing what is hardest right now.
Julie helps break worries into manageable steps and supports clients as they test new ways of relating to themselves and others. The work is paced to each person’s needs and life commitments.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Online sessions use practical exercises and homework to spot patterns and try alternative responses. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where small changes make a daily difference.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. Changes can be reviewed and approaches adjusted as work progresses to keep things relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and ease of access. Video calls let people talk face to face when that helps, while phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still getting structured support from registered or accredited professionals.
